Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of environmental functional materials technology, specifically relating to a method for preparing a metal-organic framework material, and more particularly to a method for modifying an aluminum fumarate metal-organic framework with polyethyleneimine, as well as the materials obtained by this method and their applications. Background Technology

[0002] The rapid development of the textile, dyeing, and leather industries has led to a surge in dye wastewater discharge. Statistics show that approximately 20% of global industrial wastewater originates from dye-related industries. Among this wastewater, azo dyes (such as Congo Red) pose a serious threat to the ecological environment and human health due to their high toxicity, recalcitrant nature, and carcinogenicity. Traditional dye wastewater treatment methods (such as biodegradation and chemical oxidation) suffer from low efficiency and are prone to secondary pollution. Therefore, developing efficient, economical, and environmentally friendly wastewater treatment technologies is of great significance.

[0003] Adsorption methods are widely studied due to their ease of operation, but traditional adsorbent materials (such as activated carbon and zeolites) often suffer from drawbacks such as low adsorption capacity (typically below 200 mg / g), poor selectivity, and difficulty in regeneration, limiting their practical applications. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are considered highly promising adsorbent materials due to their ultra-high specific surface area, tunable pore structure, and abundant surface functional groups. However, most MOF materials carry a negative surface charge, resulting in electrostatic repulsion with similarly negatively charged anionic dyes, leading to unsatisfactory adsorption performance for these dyes. Furthermore, some MOFs also suffer from poor water stability, high preparation costs, and difficulties in reusability.

[0004] Aluminum fumarate (AlFu) metal-organic frameworks are microporous materials composed of angle-sharing metallic octahedrons linked by fumarate, with a pore size of approximately 5.7 × 6.0 Å. 2(Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl. 2015, 54, 3664-3668) This material can be used in fields such as carbon dioxide capture and dye adsorption. Azhdari et al. (J. Environ. Chem. Eng., 2019, 7, 103437) reported a method for synthesizing aluminum fumarate MOF materials via a hydrothermal method and combining them with graphene oxide or reduced graphene oxide for adsorption and removal of Congo red dye. The composite material obtained by this method has an extremely limited adsorption capacity for dyes, with an adsorption capacity for Congo red not exceeding 200 mg / g. Wang et al. (ACS Omega 2020, 5, 50, 32286–32294) reported a method for modifying the metal-organic framework material NH2-MIL-101(Al), prepared with aluminum ions as the metal center and 2-aminoterephthalic acid as the organic ligand, with low molecular weight (600 Da) polyethyleneimine (PEI). NH2-MIL-101(Al) is a mesoporous material with two main types of cage-like channels, where the free diameters of the small and large cages are approximately 29 Å and 34 Å, respectively. The modified PEI@NH2-MIL-101(Al) composite material exhibits good anionic dye adsorption performance, with adsorption capacities of 894 mg / g for methyl orange and 998 mg / g for DR80. However, this modification method is difficult to extend to other MOF materials (especially microporous ones) to achieve similar results. On the one hand, if PEI is used to modify microporous materials, especially when a higher molecular weight PEI is desired to increase the amino group density, pore blockage is likely to occur, leading to a deterioration in material performance. On the other hand, PEI-modified microporous MOF materials prepared under conventional methods are only suitable for adsorbing small-sized anions. For example, CN104785210A discloses a method for modifying UiO-66 with PEI to improve its adsorption capacity for small-molecule inorganic anions such as phosphate and arsenate in water.

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, it is necessary to develop a method for preparing PEI-modified aluminum fumarate metal-organic framework materials. Summary of the Invention

[0006] This application aims to provide a method for preparing metal-organic framework materials, which can be used to obtain metal-organic framework materials with high adsorption capacity, excellent selectivity and cycle stability, and can achieve efficient treatment of anionic dye wastewater.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: A method for preparing an AlFu-PEI metal-organic framework material includes the following steps: a) The fumarate and aluminum salt are reacted in an aqueous medium to obtain a suspension; b) Add polyethyleneimine to the suspension to carry out the second reaction; c) After the second reaction is completed, post-processing is performed to obtain the AlFu-PEI metal-organic framework material; Both the fumarate and aluminum salt are water-soluble; The molecular weight of the polyethyleneimine is 8000-30000 Da; The mass ratio of polyethyleneimine to fumarate is 1:(5-15); The post-processing includes ultrasonic treatment and freeze drying.

[0008] This application also provides the following technical solutions: An AlFu-PEI metal-organic framework material was obtained by the aforementioned preparation method.

[0009] This application also provides the following technical solutions: The aforementioned AlFu-PEI metal-organic framework material is used in wastewater treatment; wherein the material is used to adsorb anionic dyes in wastewater.

[0010] The technical solution provided in this application has the following beneficial effects: (1) The preparation method provided in this application uses PEI with a high molecular weight to modify the AlFu metal-organic framework, which can increase the amino density in the material and thus improve the adsorption performance. In the post-processing, ultrasonic treatment and freeze-drying are used to achieve high loading, uniform dispersion and stable immobilization of PEI on the AlFu framework. At the same time, the molecular weight and amount of PEI are controlled within a reasonable range to effectively avoid pore blockage and performance deterioration of the material. The preparation method provided in this application obtains AlFu-PEI material with high specific surface area, abundant amino active sites, open pore structure and high stability by synergistically controlling the molecular weight of PEI, loading ratio and post-processing.

[0011] (2) The AlFu provided in this application PEI materials achieve excellent anionic dye adsorption performance through the synergistic effect of the following factors: (i) the abundant amino groups on the PEI molecular chain can be protonated and become positively charged in a near-neutral aqueous environment, generating strong electrostatic attraction with negatively charged anionic dyes (such as Congo Red); (ii) the amino groups in PEI can form hydrogen bonds or coordination interactions with functional groups such as sulfonic acid groups in dye molecules, enhancing selective adsorption; (iii) the high specific surface area and ordered pores of the AlFu framework provide ample space for dye molecule diffusion, and the modification of PEI does not block the pores, ensuring mass transfer efficiency. The AlFu provided in this application... PEI materials also possess excellent cycle stability, high efficiency in adsorbing different anionic dyes, and applicability in complex systems, making them promising for industrial application in the field of advanced dye wastewater treatment.

Subsequently, the solid was transferred to a freeze dryer (-25°C, 3 Pa) and dried for 24 hours to obtain AlFu-PEI material. The mass ratio of PEI to sodium fumarate was 1:10.

[0072] Example 2 Following the preparation method of Example 1, 0.05 g of PEI with a molecular weight of 30000 Da was used, with other conditions remaining unchanged, to obtain AlFu-PEI material. The mass ratio of PEI to sodium fumarate was 1:10.

[0073] Example 3 Following the preparation method of Example 1, 0.05 g of PEI with a molecular weight of 8000 Da was used, with other conditions remaining unchanged, to obtain AlFu-PEI material. The mass ratio of PEI to sodium fumarate was 1:10.

[0074] Example 4 Following the preparation method of Example 1, 0.0333 g of PEI with a molecular weight of 10000 Da was used, with other conditions remaining unchanged, to obtain AlFu-PEI material. The mass ratio of PEI to sodium fumarate was 1:15.

[0075] Example 5 Following the preparation method of Example 1, 0.1 g of PEI with a molecular weight of 10000 Da was used, with other conditions remaining unchanged, to obtain AlFu-PEI material. The mass ratio of PEI to sodium fumarate was 1:5.

[0076] Comparative Example 1 Following the preparation method of Example 1, 0.05 g of PEI with a molecular weight of 10000 Da was used, dried in an oven at 60°C without ultrasonic treatment, while keeping other conditions unchanged, to obtain AlFu-PEI material. The mass ratio of PEI to sodium fumarate was 1:10.

[0077] Comparative Example 2 Following the preparation method of Example 1, 0.05 g of PEI with a molecular weight of 50,000 Da was used, and other conditions remained unchanged to obtain AlFu-PEI material. The mass ratio of PEI to sodium fumarate was 1:10.

Nitrogen adsorption-desorption test ( Figure 2 a) and SEM images ( Figure 2 b, 2c) indicate that the material has a high specific surface area (calculated to be approximately 1400 m²). 2 ( / g) and abundant porous structure.

[0080] Example 7 Four mg of the AlFu-PEI material prepared in Examples 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 2, or Comparative Example 3 was added to 100 mL of a 30 mg / L Congo red solution. The solution was incubated at 25°C and pH 7 with shaking at 150 rpm for 240 minutes. After filtration, the remaining Congo red concentration was measured, and the Congo red removal rate and saturated adsorption capacity were calculated. The adsorption capacity-adsorption time curve of the AlFu-PEI material prepared in Example 1 for Congo red dye is shown below. Figure 3 As shown.

[0081] The AlFu-PEI materials prepared in Examples 1-5 all exhibited excellent adsorption performance for Congo red, with removal rates all exceeding 90% and saturated adsorption capacities greater than 700 mg / g. In particular, the AlFu-PEI material prepared in Example 1 achieved a removal rate of up to 96.6% for Congo red and a saturated adsorption capacity of up to 724.6 mg / g. In contrast, the material performance of Comparative Examples 1-3 was significantly reduced, with removal rates all below 90%. Comparative Example 1 did not undergo ultrasonic treatment and used conventional oven drying instead of freeze drying, resulting in a saturated adsorption capacity of only 618.8 mg / g. This demonstrates that the post-treatment process, including ultrasonication and freeze drying, employed in this invention is crucial for achieving efficient loading of PEI on the AlFu metal-organic framework and improving material performance. Comparative Example 2, due to the use of excessively high molecular weight (50,000 Da) PEI, experienced pore blockage, resulting in a saturated adsorption capacity of only 647.1 mg / g. The saturated adsorption capacity of Comparative Example 3 was only 664.3 mg / g, indicating that excessive PEI dosage can also cause pore blockage and performance degradation in the material.
